“I recommend Gambhir to play Kuldeep Yadav in the fifth test and choose the right bowling attack. If we continue in the bat, we can win in the oval,” Ians said.Gangules were thinking about Indian barbling in Manchester and their previous loss of Lord’s 22 runs while chasing 193.“It is a young team, we have to give them some time because the team will rebuild. The way they burned yesterday in the fourth shift, where they scored more than 400, India will feel bad that they lost the Lord’s test.“After a long time, many Indian doughs scored so many runs in the overseas test series. That’s something that makes me happy and it’s a good sign for Indian cricket. These young players will play on the ground for a long time and their performance in England will certainly give them a lot of trust.The gangules praised the goal-BATER RISHABH Pant’s consistent performance on a tour and noticed his absence in the final test because of the fracture of the right foot.

Should the Kuldeep Yadav be included in the final test against England?
“He’s a very good test player. He’s wounded and his leg was broken; he would take time to recover. He brilliantly fired in the series,” Ganguly said about Pant.“India played a good cricket and saved the test match after launching to more than 140 overs. Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar played really well,” Southpaw added.The final of the series is scheduled for Thursday in an oval in London.
